Текст песни: Children of Fear + перевод

from this time and place

to friends across the world

to every stranger’s face

we’ve died in almost every way

we are the children of fear

we’ll live to the end of eternity

give or take a million years

and to the world I am asking

why do you have these boundaries?

and you people, why are you pretending

not to know one another? oh please

tell me where are we not all one?

we have we to protect?

some nation under god?

or some shadow’s self-respect?

we were the children of this god

we stood by heaven’s gates

our nation’s scattered to the wind

these Disunited States

we were living in your cities

it’s put us out of touch

oh America, you eat your children

that’s asking much too much too much

we’re filled with city death

and the cities are filled with holes

to cover our Negro skin

to hide our Indian souls

we’ve died in almost every way

we are the children of fear

we’ll live to the end of eternity

give or take a million years

and to the world I am asking

why do you have these boundaries?

are you people, why are you pretending

not to know one another? oh please

and America, why are you sending

your children from your gates

oh America, quit pretending

not to be the Disunited States

and America, why are you driving

your children from your shores

and your highways and your free streets

and from your beautiful door?
